During the impending two years, the planners have gone back to the drawing board and designed T5 to be able to scale operations up and down more easily, and to isolate passengers from different flights to limit cross infection.
Chang Airport’s Terminal 5 has been redesigned to make it more “resilient” and can operate more flexibly and safely in case pandemics return, says Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the National Day Rally on Aug 21.
The tender of T5, which is designed to handle more than 50 million passengers a year – more than Terminals 1, 2 and 3 combined – was about to be called when the pandemic hit in early 2020.
